A Study in Steampunk: Choice by Gaslight reviews and comments
Of all the Choice of Games interactive stories I've read, this is my favourite. There are a lot of choices, different "routes" and endings. Unlike other stories in this genre, our character can be only a man and has a definite personality, but it allows more "depth" to the story. Other Choice of Games have to deal with all genders (male, female, transgender) and sexual orientations (straight, gay, pan) for the reader, and very often create very "neutral" stories and therefore with very little depth.
